Article by The Jerusalem Post about Jews in Azerbaijan

The Jerusalem Post posted an article about Jews living in Azerbaijan. The Jerusalem Post compared Jews living in Armenia to Jews living in Azerbaijan.

Some quotes from the article

"It is a well-known fact that there was virtually no antisemitism in Azerbaijan. We grew up together, respecting each other, our different religions and traditions."

Azerbaijan is multicultural and has respect for all religions and nationals living in Azerbaijan.

"What is the attitude toward Jews in Armenia? 

Fern Sidman of The Jewish Voice in New York wrote an article titled “Armenian antisemitism rears its ugly head again.” In is she says, “In a key symptom inherent in oppressed, closed and wholly mono-ethnic societies, Armenia is cited as the least tolerant toward Jews among 18 countries in Central and Eastern Europe in data published by the Pew Research Center. Fully 32% of Armenian survey respondents said they would not even accept Jews as fellow citizens. That figure is jarring, but actually, not surprising.” 

According to the Index of Antisemitism of the Anti-Defamation League, Armenia is the most saturated with antisemitism among the post-Soviet countries, with anti-Jewish sentiments shared by 58% of its population."
